Bring AppVeyor job logs into the release review
When a release document is prepared, send the build and job details in a webhook. Notis can retrieve the log and summarize the output for the handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Download Build Log
Download the log for a specific build job, whether running or complete.
Why this helps
Build logs are easy to overlook when release context is spread across documents and dashboards.
- Put relevant log output beside release context.
- Get a concise summary of retrieved log content.
- Make the build and job identifiers explicit in the handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and AppVeyor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language with the log review outcome.
- 3Describe that the webhook should include the AppVeyor build and job identifiers.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real handoff that points to a known AppVeyor job.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis retrieve logs without a job identifier?
The AppVeyor action retrieves a log for a specific job, so include the relevant build and job identifiers in the webhook.
Will this trigger when ActiveMerge finishes a document?
Only if ActiveMerge or a connected backend sends an HTTP request to the Notis webhook at that point.
